To enable users to have access to remote applications is needed to publish them in the RemoteApp
Server, as the following procedure.

interesting to check with the vendor if the application supports Windows Server 2008 for
compatibility issues.
After that, click Start> Administrative Tools> Remote Desktop Services and open the RemoteApp
Manager. On the right side of the screen click Add RemoteApp Programs, as shown in Figure 1.
